Medical Area for Beowulf

[Schilling, Richard]

This thread has been great.  If I get a list of all the Beowulf uses in
medicine together, I'd be happy to add them to our website.
http://www.affiliatedhealth.org, and provided my clients (docs, clinicians,
etc. . . ) are willing to listen, I'd be happy to pass on the information.
